Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

"Update Sept 2023: Recommend the barrel bites (2 for $8.99 currently). We got the fried pickles & the loaded hashbrown casserole tots (pictured). Our server was absolutely marvelous! She even joked around with us like we were old friends. Having a friendly server makes the whole eating out experience much better. Our food was brought out quickly, it was correct, food was hot, our drinks were never empty (even got some to go). A great experience all around. Original review: Put our name in for a table and was told it would be a 45 minute wait. That was expected for a Saturday evening. It ended up only being MAYBE 10 minutes before we were seated (the text message notification system is neat too). Server was prompt and friendly. Food was delicious. Only complaint was that we asked for mushy broccoli and it was still crunchy (edible, just not the texture preference). Our server offered to get us another batch, but we said it wasn't necessary. Manager was even out of the floor to bus tables and asking people if their food was good. He was very friendly as well - chatted with us a bit."

"UPDATE: This is always our go to place when in Dry Ridge. Our waiter Hayden was a doll and extremely attentive and polite. My daughter found him to be "Dreamy"! However, our portions were extremely small almost child portions although tasted wonderful! Tonight we didn't get what we paid for as the normal that's for sure. Awesome, comfortable, wholesome & family orientated. The food was most awesome!"

"Chicken was raw. Manager did not cover the entire bill... Either time. There are problems with the health standards at this restaurant, and I would advise anyone against eating here. The first time this happened, I let it go as a mistake. This happened for a second time tonight and, safe to say, it spoiled my appetite."

"Great meal at a great price. We stopped on our way to vacation and this by far was the most affordable meal that we had the entire trip. If you have a bigger family and are looking to eat somewhere nice on a budget, this is a great option. Service was awesome. Food was even better. I highly recommend."

"We arrived at 8:06pm. I ordered the hamburger steak with pinto beans and turnip greens. I had black coffee to drink! The coffee was lukewarm at best. I received the smallest bowl of pinto beans ever. I counted 17 beans. The server never made eye contact and was quite uninterested in us as customers. The workers were more interested in preparing to close than serving the guests."
